The pan-Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has a new leader in the person of Prof. George Obiozor.
A former Nigerian ambassador to the United States, the new President General of the group was elected on Sunday at the Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri, Imo State.
He polled 304 votes to emerge the leader.
His closest rival, Valentine Oparaocha, polled 15 votes.
Three persons who had signified interest to contest the election, Chukwunyere Nwaebo, Goddy Uwazuruike and Uju Okoro, stepped down for Obiozor before the election was conducted.
The election followed a motion dissolving the executive of the body, led by John Nwodo.
